The Bushes and AMNESTY, always has been something wrong and I doubt it’s the Irish ancestors joke.
Why not just go away ...
Dubya was raised by a Mexican-born housekeeper in Texas and then his children were, too:
Mexican-born citizen Maria Galvan, 53, has worked for Bush, looked after his daughters, befriended his wife and won the affection of the first family for her loyalty, decency and hard work. As governor of Texas, Bush encouraged his housekeeper to become a U.S. citizen.
Galvan got a job at the Texas governor’s mansion just as Bush moved in with his family in 1995. (The White House last week refused to comment on Galvan, except to say that she is a U.S. citizen; White House aides were silent on how she entered the country and what her legal status was at the time.)
The Bushes liked Galvan so much that they brought her to Washington, D.C., in 2001. She lives in the White House, travels with the first family and looks after their beloved dogs. She is said by White House insiders, who refuse to be identified discussing first family matters, to be “part of the family,” which is unusual for staff in the formal, institutionalized Executive Mansion.

I lost some respect for Laura Bush over this one.
In “modern” America every illegal that jumps the border is basically handed a check worht 19,000 in benefits something none of our Ancestors ( for the most part) had handed to them.
It has to do with their mexican housekeeper...
Your immigrant family and mine came in a different time, things were much different then. The came in legally, many were poor, yet they did not expect America to GIVE them anything except an opportunity.
They expected to WORK and not be taken care of by the efforts of other peoples work.
I am just bored with your argument, you may stop it now, please.
Now we know who was really running the show. Disgusting.
The purpose of amnesty and the Bushes defending it, is that the big farmers, meat processors, etc want undocumented cheap labor to do these nasty jobs. It is status quo and cheap labor. And there is no relationship to Laura’s Irish ancestors, who were not allowed to be here illegally and were made citizens. In some cases immediately pressed into service in the Union army to be immediate cannon fodder rendered so by their own relations from the South. Same invisible owners using people. No, not a commie I.
The Bush family are not even from Texas for cryin out loud.
Transplants from the Northeast.
They brought their NE mentality with’em.
Geez, just retire already.
